Rising temperatures and heat waves – influenced by climate change and urban development patterns – are an increasingly urgent problem affecting cities and communities across the U.S., even those with historically cooler climates. Climate projections demonstrate that temperatures are rising, especially in urban areas that experience the urban heat island effect. Extreme heat around real estate developments can reduce occupant comfort and satisfaction and can reduce project financial returns.
Developers and project designers are taking action to mitigate the impact of extreme heat through innovate design techniques. Leading developers and designers are focused on creating ways to make buildings simultaneously more adaptable to external high temperatures and more comfortable for occupants.
Join ULI Houston for a discussion with heat experts, real estate professionals and public sector members to discuss why we as a real estate industry should care about heat mitigation efforts and how it can ultimately help our bottom line. Afterwards, join us for a drink and light bites while exploring the outdoors with thermal cameras.
